The document discusses Swagger, a collection of tools for API design, documentation, and testing. It outlines Swagger's role in the API lifecycle, including functionalities such as design, virtualize, test, document, deploy, and monitor. SmartBear, as the official steward of the Swagger project, commits resources to ensure its success and supports a variety of development approaches.

13. Swagger in the API Lifecycle
 Design / Code – swagger editor/core/codegen
 Virtualize – adjacent tools
 Test –adjacent tools
 Document – swagger-ui
 Deploy – adjacent tools
 Monitor – adjacent tools

14. API Design approaches
 Top-Down
– create spec in editor, generate code with codegen
 Bottom up
– write code – generate Swagger with swagger-core
 Hybrid
– Start with Top-down for prototype
– Continue with Bottom-up for “evolution”
